I know you can do this with quicksilver but I can’t be bothered to work it out.

SizzlingKeys is genius. apple+alt+right arrow changes the song, the back arrow goes …

I finally got my grubby mits on a Pownce Account thanks to Michael.

Its a combination of Twitter and Tumblr. Ie it allows posting of different types …

Don’t think me heartless for carrying on as usual. I just wanted to post this to give people an idea on how to upgrade their mac’s ram. As you will see over the next few posts I’ve been keeping myself busy. I’ve also made a new layout which you can see. More on that in upcoming posts. Though in theory this ‘tutorial’ applies to every laptop. Just ensure you have the right ram and then undo every screw until you find where it goes. Trust me, thats the way the professionals do it.

I’m not as good as this tutorial because I didn’t make a video of it, but if I’m honest it wouldn’t make for interesting viewing because halfway through I went home and then it took me 4 hours to get the last screw out, by which time you’d have gotten bored.

If you don’t trust my instructions (possibly a wise choice) be sure to print off the Apple official guide to have handy and don’t worry about your warranty, its considered a user upgrade so it doesn’t void it.

First you need to get the right RAM. This all depends on the configuration of your mac. Mines a 2.16Ghz Intel Core Duo with 1gig of ram (which is how I ordered it). To find out your computers spec click the apple in the top left hand corner of the screen and select About this mac a little window will pop up.

There we go, slow little bugger isn’t it. I’m upgrading because I need to run photoshop, flash, neooffice, firefox, adium and itunes all at the same time and it just makes my laptop die. I usually run with 10mb free ram! Damn this program intensive course!

ok, so now we know our computers spec we need the right RAM. Looking on the apple docs site shows us we need SDRAM in Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR SO-DIMM) format, 1.25 inch or smaller, 512 MB or 1 gigabyte (GB), 200-pin and PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz Type RAM.

What you do is take the east way out. You go to Crucial.com and select your country. Type in your manufacturer (Apple in case you weren’t sure!) select your product line macbook pro - dont get confused with mac pro here! Then the model you found out from the about this mac. In my case 2.16Ghz Intel Core Duo. It’ll present you with the correct ram for your laptop at really good prices. No I’m not pimping them or anything - they really are pretty good prices. I ordered a 1gb stick.

Now wait a few days, Why not entertain yourself by commenting on every single entry on my photoblog?
